I have not had any success with Hiawatha. I downloaded the
LAMP-6.14-5.1.34-5.2.9.pet and using the Puppy package manager
installed it to my Puppy 4.2 machine. After installation the Package
Manager informed me that the installation was missing libmcrypt.so.4
This did not sound too serious as I only want the server to check out
the perl scripts for my web site. Whatever I did to the config file I
could not persuade Hiawatha to serve any pages at all! But worse
still Puppy can no longer find my serial modem for the dial-up
internet connection.

I have now had the Puppy package manager remove Hiawatha but Puppy can
still not find my serial modem and I am faced with possibly having to
back up all my stuff and reload Puppy Linux completely from the CD
unless someone can point me to the likely source of the corruption and
suggest a fix.

Meanwhile I am posting this from my antique RISC OS machine into which
I have plugged that same invisible modem. I have been successfully
using WebJames on this old machine for years to check my web page
scripts but I feel that it is time that I made the effort to use more
modern equipment.

I got Hiawatha up and running.
As to your question, try opening a terminal and type in
'hiawatha.run start'
You should get a message saying it is already running if indeed it is.
I also found that it uses the index.php file in /root/httpd/hiawatha as default.
Also, you can just open the browser and type http:/localhost/
in the address bar and that will pick up that index.php file.
I even went so far as to dl the source for the files page on puppylinux.ca and if I name it as index.php in the above subdirectory, it loads and displays file.
Also, as another test, with the file in my /mnt/home directory, and having one of the files the page lists there, I was able to download it so to speak to my home directory.

But I should mention that to get hiawatha to start, I had to uninstall and reinstall Lamp.

Does it show any additional errors or warnings at all? This just says that petget is not working on your installation. Otherwise there would be additional information about starting mysql and hiawatha.

Did you download the latest link or from the earlier link? The earlier link had a problem and growler fixed it and I posted the corrected link. Also, do you have enough space on your USB? The pet is 11MB and will expand further when installing._________________Macpup - The beauty of linux | Pritlog - Simple blog app

Nope...that's all I got.

Downloaded it....and to be safe, before I installed, I drove to the local Native American Cultural Center and visited with the Shaman. I asked if he could help me with Hiawatha.

Alas, he knows no more than I do...so Hiawatha still don't work, even if the ps aux results were as you stated in a previous smoke signal. I do recall him muttering something about the Apache tribe being held in high regard.
